Abstract

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı öğretmenlerin Web 2.0 araçlarını kullanma yeterlilikleri ile mesleki motivasyonları arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Ayrıca bu değişkenlerin çeşitli sosyo-demografik değişkenlere göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı da incelenmiştir. Çalışmada ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Çalışma Türkiye'nin çeşitli illerinde farklı okul türlerinde ve öğretmenlik alanlarında çalışan 446 öğretmen ile yürütülmüştür. Sonuçlara göre öğretmenlik deneyimi arttıkça Web 2.0 araçlarını kullanma yeterlilikleri azalırken, mesleki motivasyon farklılaşmamıştır. Öğretmenlerin mesleki motivasyonu ve Web 2.0 kullanım yeterlilikleri arasında cinsiyete ve okul türüne göre fark bulunmamıştır. Ayrıca mesleki motivasyon tüm öğretmenlik alanlarında benzerken, Bilişim Teknolojileri öğretmenlerinde Web 2.0 kullanım yeterliliği daha yüksektir. Kırsalda çalışan öğretmenlerin mesleki motivasyonu, kentsel okullarda çalışan öğretmenlerden daha yüksektir. Öğretmenlerin mesleki motivasyonu ile Web 2.0 araçlarını kullanma yeterlilikleri arasında pozitif ilişki bulunmuştur. Son olarak, regresyon analizi, öğretmenlerin Web 2.0 araçlarını kullanma yeterliliklerinin mesleki motivasyonlarını anlamlı şekilde yordadığını göstermiştir.

Does Teachers' Web 2.0 Tools Competence Improve Their Professional Motivation?

Abstract

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between teachers' competence in using Web 2.0 tools and their professional motivation. We also examined whether these variables differed by socio-demographic characteristics. A correlational survey model was used in this study. This study was conducted with 446 teachers from various provinces in Türkiye, working in different school types and teaching fields. The results showed that as teaching experience increased, competence in using Web 2.0 tools decreased, while professional motivation did not differ. No differences were found in teachers' professional motivation or Web 2.0 usage competence by gender or school type. Additionally, professional motivation was similar across all teaching fields, while Web 2.0 usage competence was higher among Information Technology teachers. Teachers' professional motivation was higher in rural schools than in urban schools. A positive relationship was found between teachers' professional motivation and their competence levels in using Web 2.0 tools. Finally, the regression analysis showed that teachers' competence in Web 2.0 tools significantly predicted their professional motivation.
